You get no sympathy from me, I'll probably be on grounds by 7, entries start at 7:30. Weight pull entries end at 8.If you're just coming to watch, it will probably go on for at least a few hours. We only have 20 dogs pre-entered, but I expect there will be a fair amount more day of show.Weather's looking good, I'm very excited.

It was nice to meet you Michelle, Mr Riggs,and Ruby.I was so happy when he passed in OB on Sunday,he was such a good boy!!!And also congrats again on your qualifying pulls,he was soo happy doing it!!!And thank you for abusing my girl... Congrats to Leslie on Soleils nice performance in WP,I'm not sure how much they ended up pulling,but she was on fire for sure.Congrats to Therese on the RCH win with Bodacious on Sunday,I know you were happy.I hope the pictures turned out well.Congrats to Karen as well,her boy Rowdy got 2 Best Males on Sunday/I'm not sure if he championed out?/and also he had 3 qualifying pulls,and got Total dog on Sunday.And I know you won something on Saturday as well in the ring,but I don't remember with who and what...

It was great meeting you too! Mia is welcome to come to my house for some "abuse" any time. She's a riot! I'm not planning to blow in her face any time soon though.

I'm so tired I can't breath, I ended up staying at my parent's house last night and coming straight to work this morning. I can't wait to take a nap... after work, after teaching, after class, after pulling...

I'm glad Bill could fix it!

It was a stressful weekend with lots of driving and sour grapes but it's all over and now we can all sleep!

Nationals was a pretty good haul for Arkay this year Dilly won a Award of Merit in the CH class under Mr Pasko who is a breeder/judge from waaaaaayyyyyyyy back then did a 10 point pull for a Total Dog. She's the 3rd Arkay dog to get a TD at a Nationals, her sire Elvis and Rowdy's sire Sonny are the other 2.

Rowdy and Laura took mwp mwpp on Friday because she was the only jr pulling (she doesn't care and was thrilled) for 1 leg on his UWP. He got the second leg on Sat. then the 3rd on Sunday. He went best Male under both breeder/judge Barbara Marin and then in show 2 under Kathy Lorentzen....... That makes him UWP CH ARKAY'S RAWHIDE ROWDY YATES and gave him a Total Dog making that 2 TD this weekend for Ruth.

Dilly then did a 10 point pull on Sunday making her CH UWPCH ARKAY'S PINK CADILLAC. Ruth is also the judge for 2009 Nationals in Denton, TX.

It was fun as always seeing everyone and Michelle don't sweat the small stuff, you'll look back on it and laugh eventually. Ellie you need to show Milo and he could have done really well this weekend Maya looked great and I'll send you the pics today at some point.

I just sent in a complaint about what happened at Motel 6. They just sent me a certificate for a free night. I guess no towels, people screaming in the parking lot at 2am, the fridge being off and them losing my registration was worth it!

Seriously though, I'm happy with their response.
